Loneliness is angst caused by being alone. As lonely people are socially retarded, they are easily influenced by whomever pays attention to them: this is the basic recruiting tactic of furries, Scientologists, gays, etcetera. A generation of awkward loners, who in earlier days would have done science-fair projects and collected comic books, have since found the Internets, and are now busy writing clumsy slash for their fursonas on LiveJournal.

Loneliness is also the root of a wide variety of other societal ills, from cutting to World of Warcraft to cybersex. The only known cure to loneliness is to take a shower, meet some people who do not wear t-shirts with catgirls on them, as well as to stop being such a boring, self-absorbed loser.

The third part of Hegel’s system is the Philosophy of Spirit. The word ‘Spirit’ (Geist in German) is used by Hegel in a very specific sense which is at the core of his philosophy. Spirit, for Hegel, always involves relation. An isolated individual might be a consciousness, but only in relating with others can the level of Spirit (higher than that of mere consciousness) be reached. This is the level which includes all the phenomena of art, religion, and society.
